Standouts in the option choices include an electric two-speed transfer case, an off-road suspension package, a locking rear differential, and front recovery hooks for when your off-roading ambitions exceed the available traction. There are plenty of other nifty features, like remote keyless entry, forward-collision alert, and an eight-inch color touch screen and navigation.

We already know that the Colorado will come standard with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that makes 200 hp and 191 lb-ft of torque; an optional 3.6-liter V-6 makes 305 hp and 269 lb-ft. The base four-cylinder comes standard with a six-speed manual, while a six-speed automatic is found in the rest of the models. Extended Cabs get a six-foot two-inch bed while Crew Cab models offer either the five-foot two-inch bed or the six-foot two-inch bed; there will not be a regular-cab option. Rear-wheel drive is standard and four-wheel drive is optional.

It would make sense that the GMC Canyon would offer the same list of options while possibly adding to it even more luxury-feature choices. Pricing remains a mystery for both the Colorado and the Canyon, but we expect that information to be announced closer to the pickup’s on-sale date later this year.
